Ahoy Maties! It's Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Hear ye. Hear ye.  September 19th has been declared Talk Like a Pirate Day.  Find your inner buccaneer.  Today, we have the perfect excuse to begin conversations with "Avast ye" or "Shiver me timbers".  From the Talklikeapirate.com, guys can use the such pick up lines as "Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?" "Come on up and see me urchins." Fair warning that these lines will probably not work.

  Some famous pirates were Blackbeard, Anne Bonney, Black Bart, Jean Lafitte and of course the marauder with a heart of gold that Johnny Depp brought to life, Jack Sparrow.

To all you old sea dogs, drop ye anchor, raise your flask o' grog and salute the Jolly Roger.  Or I will see you in Davey Jones' Locker.
